Wyoming Summer Family Vacations - Horseback Riding and Mule Riding Vacations - Wilderness Pack Trip Vacations - Fishing, Hiking with Bliss Creek Outfitters

Spend your Summer Riding, Fishing & Hiking in the Wyoming High Country!

Wyoming in the Summer is a magical experience. The mountains are alive with wildlife and the sweet smell of wildflowers. You'll see moose, elk, deer and bighorn sheep filling their bellies on the rich abundant grass. The trout are feasting on an ample food supply in the rivers, beaver ponds and creeks. This is a special time to be in the Wyoming high country.

Our camp is located 22 miles into the Washakie Wilderness adjoining the southeastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park. The trek requires an 8-hour Horse or Mule ride. Once in camp, the vacation is yours to plan. Your group can do things together everyday or split up and do a multitude of things on your trip. You can go fishing, hiking, sight-seeing, play horse-shoes, sit by the camp-fire at night and much more.

While in camp, you will enjoy family-style meals for breakfast and dinner. For lunch you can either stay in camp or take a sack-lunch with you on your daily wilderness trek. We look forward to giving you a quality Summer Vacation you will remember for a lifetime!

Your Host, Tim Doud, has been guiding Wilderness enthusiast for nearly 25 years and has been training horses and mules for 15 of those 25 years. In 2006, Tim took his training to a professional level and became the first person to successfully graduate from the John Lyons Certification Program using only Mules. This program teaches all aspects of training horses and mules, from riding a Mule for the first time, to teaching a Mule to perform advanced maneuvers.

Wilderness Trail-Riding Clinics (Educational)

In addition to summer riding vacations, Tim also offers five, six or seven day Wilderness Trail Riding Clinics. These Clinics are very structured and include instruction by Tim Doud from 9AM to 4PM each day. All meals & lodging are included.

Tim emphasizes gentle training methods and teaches clinic participants how to better communicate with their horse or mule. Understanding that training is a long-term commitment, Tim gives clients the tools to continue training their equines at home.

Whether you have a spooky-mule or horse, or one that does not cross water, needs to become lighter to the bridle, does not stand to be mounted, is buddy sour, jiggy on the trail, or other trail performance issues, Tim teaches trail savvy training techniques to help you form a better relationship with your equine.
